4 weeks for me to see decent improvement. It made my lashes grow denser as well. I have more lashes growing at the same time now. I only use it 2-3 times a week after the first 3 months. My doctor told me to expect going back to normal in 2-3 months if I stopped using latisse.
Let's put it this way, if you give two hairdressers the same blow dryer and brush, do you think all the results would be the same? I drive differently than my husband. Same Porsche but the ride is always different! I have found different clinics with the same machine can and will give different results. Same as botox and fillers.....
Just read your new comments. 1. Definitely there is a difference between doctors or clinics. When I did mine, they marked my face very differently from left to right because the doctor noticed major differences between my two sides. They told me that every patient is different. I like their individualized approach. If you asked enough questions, you will get a feel if the doctor is experienced enough. 2. About the pain, personally, I don't think I needed strong pain killers. I did it without anything and it was tolerable. Yes, there was pain but it was a lot less than other things I have done that didn't work (Fraxel, Thermage, Titan....). My doctor did mention that pain tolerance varies a lot. Some people may need it. At their clinic, they do offer pain control but he will insist patient be accompanied home by someone if pills were given. 3. About pricing, it was lucky for me that my doctor only charged $2000. According to the nurse, it used to be $4500-$5500 at their clinic a year ago. They brought the price down now because they wanted it to make it affordable for more people. My doctor is known for results and not low prices. He charges about average pricing for botox and perhaps a little higher than my previous doctors for his fillers. But believe me, when I was sitting there waiting, he had lots of patients. I noticed many happy faces and heard many thank you's. Do lots of homework and you will find yourself a much better doctor where you are.
